I agree. QB should always be national (including South Florida). I also think we can go national at TE. We have a track record and have proven we can land kids like Brevin Jordan.

That article supports what we've been saying. Look at Alabama in the quote above. They built their first good team locally, and then branched out more and more as they became more successful. That's the proper order, not the other way around. If you can recruit five stars across the country...

OK. I asked someone in the building directly. Let’s see how it plays out.

What? I heard we want both. They don’t even play the same position.

Corn was good. We hit .111 with OOS four stars over that time period.

The same reason OOS guys ditch us: we've been a bad program for 15 years. Luckily, our location allowed us to sign nine 4* DBs in four years. For comparison, we've offered 90 DBs outside of South Florida over the same time period. Only nine even took officials. We landed four, and two of those...

In other words, you can't answer the question because you made up the number. And bringing up examples from before you were born (the championship era) misses the obvious point. We don't have that kind of national brand anymore.

Name the eight so-called busts. By the way, here are the four star DBs we’ve signed from outside of South Florida since 2006: Ryan Hill CJ Holton Vaughn Telemaque Ray Ray Armstrong Jamal Reid Kacey Rodgers Dallas Crawford Corn Elder Kiy Hester Hopefully, Christian Williams breaks the mold.

We’ve signed nine 4* DBs from South Florida in the last four classes.

They are jilted lovers. A couple local five-stars throw our hat on the ground and they get emotional. Our hat isn’t even on the table with OOS five-stars, so the feeling is different. It’s three-stars like Romello Height throwing our hat on the ground.

Golden properly evaluated Moss and Uche but we didn’t pursue them heavily once Richt came aboard. Ironically, there was a big discussion on the board at the time whether Richt should pursue those “South Florida three star” decommits. Most people were deferring to Richt and said that we should...

What about the other ten guys on the list? We’re 0-12 in Texas since we started sucking. That’s not a fluke. It’s a trend. You keep saying talented recruits in Texas respect us. Where is the evidence? In that same time period, we’ve signed 37 guys from South Florida that made the NFL. The...

Tight ends are their own category. We can recruit studs nationally, and we should. That’s the one position where we have a legitimate on-field selling point. Also, Arroyo was born in Miami. QBs require national recruitment just by the nature of the position.

Golden signed Preston Dewey, while Richt signed Brian Polendey and Bubba Baxa. I understand the facts aren’t as fun as jilted lover rants about Dade divas, but they are more helpful. What makes you think we will break our 12-bust losing streak in Texas? Is it your faith in Manny? Our 6-7...

The evals haven’t been the same. They’ve been worse. We haven’t landed a single good player from Texas since Coker. We’re 0-12.

This is from my look at our recruiting classes from 2010-2015: Offensive Line South Florida- 10 players, 80% starters, 40% NFL Everywhere else- 15 players, 40% starters, 6% NFL

There's a pretty obvious reason for that. This is a high school recruiting thread, and those guys weren't high school recruits. We are doing great with grad transfers from everywhere. When Butch and JJ were recruiting, Miami had won titles within living memory of the kids we were recruiting...

This is wrong. We've signed more kids outside of South Florida than inside South Florida over the past few years, and they've been worse by a large degree. Here are the kids we've signed from Texas over our last four coaches (14 classes): Chris Perry Shawnbrey McNeal Taylor Cook AJ Highsmith...

If we can’t pick the right players in our backyard, how are we going to pick the right players halfway across the country?

I’ve sent out-of-state three stars to the staff. One of them signed with us and had a great career. I know there is talent elsewhere. What I won’t do is get emotional like a jilted girlfriend because big local recruits leave us. I prefer evidence. The evidence suggests that our out-of-state...
